I’m not convinced eliminating effort in places you don’t enjoy it is the right course of action. A recent example: I had to rearchitect major parts of my pipeline the other week. I find working on the pipeline very dull and not enjoyable. Since I wrote it all though, and struggled through, it was really easy for me to take it apart and reassemble it in a more efficient manner. Took maybe 30 minutes.

I couldn’t have comfortably done such a substantial refactor without suffering through the process of building it.

(And this refactor was much larger and more substantial than LLMs in their current state can do)
